- Strong written and verbal communication abilities to clearly tell the design story, articulate key findings, deliver recommendations, and write or audit content.
- Wireframing and rapid prototyping skills, using software like Figma or XD.
- Professional experience in an agency environment or in government, education or large corporations would be well regarded.
- Strong influencing and consulting experience.
What you would do:
- Lead a project’s UX activities from presales through to implementation.
- Conduct stakeholder engagement activities, and facilitate collaborative workshops with stakeholders, users and multidisciplinary teams
- Conduct user research activities including interviews, contextual inquiries and usability testing
- Analyse, interpret and report on research findings
- Design feasible, implementable and user-centred digital experiences
- Contribute to quotes and proposals, and scoping and selling of projects
